Connections

Connecting to the Group Sends or Aux

Send/Return of a mixing console:

The Metavox is designed more for in-line processing than the

send/receive kind of processing typically used for reverb units.

However, plugging the Metavox into a Group or Aux send/return

loop will allow you to vocode a mix of several instruments, from

any mixer channel assigned to that group.

The principle of operation is this: you use one mix bus (a group,

or auxiliary send) as the vocoding source (the modulator), and

another mix bus as the instrument mix to be processed (the

carrier). This will make it easy to select different mics to be the

controller, and vocode different instrument/synthesis sources with

those mics. This is also necessary if you want to mix some of the

original controller or instrument sound back into the main mix,

instead of just hearing the vocoded result from the Metavox.

To do this, connect a single cable from the Group or Aux Send

Out to the [LEFT/MONO] input of the Metavox. Assign a

microphone to this Group, or bring up the Aux Send on the

microphone channel only with all other aux sends down.

Connect another cable from a different Group or Aux Send to the

[RIGHT INPUT] of the Metavox. Use two separate cables to

connect the [LEFT OUTPUT] and [RIGHT OUTPUT] of the

Metavox to the left and right inputs of a Stereo Effect Return, or

to two adjacent mixer channels panned to left and right.
